Description

1872 Indian Cent, PR66 Red
Among the Finest Non-Cameo Examples

1872 1C PR66 Red NGC. Snow-PR1. Bold N in ONE. The 1872 is a sought-after semikey in the circulation strike Indian Head series, and high-grade full Red coins command a distinct premium. Likewise, 1872 high-grade proofs are rare, especially those with fully reflective Red surfaces such as those possessed by this Premium Gem example. Strike sharpness only found on proof coins complements attractive red and green-gold color. No surface contact is apparent to the naked eye or when viewed under a loupe. Exactly three pinpoint carbon flecks are seen and a minor planchet flake, equally tiny, exists between O and N of ONE. Excellent eye appeal remains intact throughout both sides of this memorable proof. The NGC census has not changed in more than 15 years, showing three proofs in 66 Red, and none finer. NGC also reports a single PR67 Red Deep Cameo example (9/25).
